Analytics Baseline

Analytics Baseline

Digital analytics support for cultural organisations.

Arts, culture, and heritage organisations are increasingly using data to make more informed choices about their digital marketing spend, website development, and online customer experience. However, very few organisations are able to invest in the necessary analytics skills.

Which got us thinking.

How can we solve the most common problems and help people get the insights they really need? Could we spread the cost of common requirements and make analytics expertise affordable to a wider group? How could we make it so that the service gets better as more organisations join?

PLEASE NOTE: This page is still a work in progress. If you found it early then well done!

Analytics essentials

The Analytics Baseline provides the essential elements of good digital analytics, tailored to the needs of cultural organisations.

You’ll love the confidence of knowing that your data is reliable and easily accessible, and the insights from our benchmarks will give you unrivalled context.

Collaboration at the core

The Analytics Baseline has been designed so that the cost of core services is shared, and the service will improve as more organisations join.

That means better benchmarking, a greater range of dashboards and reports, and more opportunities for co-learning and cross-organisational insights.
